Twenty-year-old Dartmouth junior Abbey D'Agostino had a busy 2012. After recording a huge 5000-meter PR at the Mt. SAC Relays last April, she won the NCAA title in the 5000m, then qualified for the Olympic Trials finals in the event. There she came up just .21 seconds short of qualifying for the London Games, finishing fifth overall in a photo finish for the third and final spot. In the process, she again lowered her PR, to 15:19.98. After struggling with a hip injury early in the fall, D'Agostino returned to form quickly, placing second at the NCAA cross country championship last November.
Today, D'Agostino was introduced as one of the headliners for this year's Millrose Games, slated for February 16 at the Armory in Manhattan. In the indoor track season's early stages, she has the fastest mile time in the world this year, 4:34.15, which she ran in a solo effort at the Dartmouth Relays on January 13. She's coached by Mark Coogan, who was on the U.S. marathon team at the 1996 Olympics.
Let's start with the biggest news at the moment, being announced as one of the elites for this year's Millrose Mile. How big of a surprise was that?
Abbey D'Agostino: Huge surprise. I had no idea there were invitations for the elite mile. I knew it was a very prestigious, competitive event, but had no idea how it worked. I'm pumped. And to hear that I'll be in the mix with possibly Brenda Martinez, and some other elites I've never gotten to run with before, and some other NCAA runners, too … It sounds like it's going to be a high-energy event. And Mark and I will get to take the train. It'll be fun.
You've made your mark this last year in the 5000 and cross country. Do you feel comfortable dropping down to a mile this early in the season?
AD: Yeah. Mark and I had talked about taking it down distance-wise throughout the indoor season. That's what we did last year, for the most part. It's just great training to get in that speed work. There's a huge tactical element in the mile that's not there to the same degree in the 3000, so that's good practice, too. It's a different race, but [it] will definitely be advantageous when Nationals comes and I'll be shooting to run the 3-K, most likely.
More From Runner's World
I think it's interesting that now you're a name an event like Millrose will use in its publicity, but a year ago at this time you were known only in the college track and field circles. How does it feel going from a solid runner to an athlete an event is going to be putting up on the marquee?
AD: With these performances comes greater pressure. I'm definitely aware of that. But it's something Mark has encouraged me not to focus on. I'd hate for that to influence how I run. I enjoy the sport, and never want it to feel like a burden. As long as I treat it like any other race, and run it for the same reasons, that won't negatively impact my performances.
People throw the word "unheralded" around a lot when an athlete suddenly busts onto the scene like you did, but you were pretty unknown coming out of high school in Massachusetts and Coach Coogan was not yet in place. Was blending academics and athletics the top reason you ended up at Dartmouth?
AD: It definitely looked like an opportunity to combine the two so that I could prioritize both and do well in both at the same time. I was looking for a Division I team, but I felt that the Dartmouth team, without the competitive nature of scholarships and that sort of dynamic, that's what I was looking for. I couldn't really ask for a better [school] academically, and I'm surrounded by people who take the sport just as seriously as I do, but it's also a fun and encouraging atmosphere.
2011 was a really good year, highlighted by getting third at the NCAA cross country championships. But it really seems like running 15:23 at Mt. SAC last year was your coming out party. What had you done that made you and Coogan believe you were ready to make the leap from elite college runner to Olympic Trials contender?
AD: I didn't have my sights set on [making the Trials] at the beginning of last year. It was really Mark – I trust him incredibly with workouts and what I'm capable of. He has this incredible knack for being realistic of what I'm capable of doing, and he'll tell us a certain workout translates to a certain time, and come the end of the season that's what happens.
As we began to talk about [the Trials] late in the cross country season, I began to set it as one of my personal long-term goals. I trained a lot and got a lot of support and encouragement from my teammate Alexi [Pappas], who's now at Oregon, and she started thinking the same way about going to the Trials. It was a mutual goal and we made it one that was both hard and fun. Definitely something I hadn't imagined in my wildest dreams, but when we were there, we felt as though we belonged and we were going to give it our best shot.
You followed up that fantastic Mt. SAC time with an NCAA title in the 5000. Is that when you realized you could be a legitimate contender at the Trials?
AD: Mt. SAC was actually more of a milestone for me, being in that field, because we were with the professionals. The time was a lot faster than what I'd run in the past. So to be an NCAA champion was amazing, absolutely, but I think I had a lot more confidence going in there than I did before Mt. SAC. At the end of the race at Mt. SAC, I was in shock. I'd been thinking, let's get in there and run fast and hang on, [whereas] at Nationals my attitude was one of greater confidence.
During the television broadcast of the Olympic trials final, commentator Craig Masback mentioned that Coogan's sole goal for you was to relax and enjoy the experience. Were you able to do that?
AD: Oh, that made the difference for me, knowing that the pressure was off. I felt I was unique in that sense in the preliminary round. There were other collegiate runners, yes, but for the most part for those shooting to make the team, that preliminary round was a huge deal. One of the Dartmouth alumni who had been to the Trials before kept reiterating that when I get out onto Hayward Field, and it's a few minutes before my race, take it all in and appreciate it. He said, "Nothing is ever a guarantee. You never know if you'll be back here again." So I did that and felt more relaxed than I had ever felt before a race. I think seeing it as an opportunity rather than an intimidating field and set of competitions, I was able to treat it just like any other race.
Given that relaxed attitude, were you cognizant at all of whether you were on Olympic "A" standard pace [15:20]?
AD: I had no idea. I thought that it was faster than the prelims, but I had absolutely no idea how close it was. We were hoping it would go out an honest pace because I knew I didn't have the time, but I think that was the last thing on my mind. And it couldn't have been any closer.
You seem to gravitate to photo finishes, not only at the trials but also at this year's NCAA cross country championship in your battle against Jordan Hasay. That said, were you happy with second place at NCAAs given the long track season?
AD: I definitely was. It was sort of a rollercoaster season given the [hip] injury I was dealing with. Mark and I had a good plan going into Nationals, and I think we eased back into the mileage. That ended up working well. To be back out there and feeling like myself again at Nationals was incredible. I just felt so fortunate. It's different, being at an Ivy League school and not having the opportunity to redshirt as readily as some other Division I schools.
One of the most exciting things about being so early in your elite career is this tremendous growth curve, where every race seems to net a huge PR or new major accomplishment. Have you and Coach Coogan planned for how you'll adjust when the times don't drop quite so easily?
AD: Like you said, it comes with the territory. Now that I have more experience running in more competitive fields, my expectations will change and become ones that are more realistic. I don't think that will affect me, despite the reality that the PRs maybe won't be 20 seconds anymore. I think it is all relative. I'm just happy to be able to compete at this level while still in college. Really, I feel as though I'm gaining from the experience, regardless of its quantitative meaning.
And it's fun to travel. All these new opportunities are really great.
Lastly, I know you said you look back and have no regrets, but was there any take-home message Coach Coogan had for you after cross country or the Olympic trials?
AD: A big lesson that came out of the fall was the importance of patience. I think the whole experience [getting injured], it could have been a lot worse. It definitely could have been. It was humbling. It came on fast, we weren't sure how it happened, it was frustrating, but we were patient and did everything we knew how to do. I knew we hadn't done the same caliber of workouts under normal circumstances, but he kept saying, "You're the same runner. You've done this before." That's really the take-home point for this season and really what I've always leaned on in the face of anxiety or nerves.

Troy Wolverton: A look back at the year in tech
This past year saw few breakthrough tech products, but it was anything but a boring year in tech.
Edward Snowden's revelations about NSA snooping and HealthCare.gov's troubles were big stories, as were Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's retirement announcement and Apple's fall from grace.
While we didn't see any new tech products comparable to the iPad or the iPhone this year, we did see plenty of interesting new gadgets, from the debut of Google Glass to the long-awaited arrival of the new game consoles from Sony and Microsoft.
Here's a look at some of the top news in consumer technology in 2013:
Snowden's secrets: There had been reports dating back to at least 2005 that the government was spying en masse on the communications of American citizens. But the documents released by Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, showed just how extensive and far-reaching surveillance has become.
According to the Snowden revelations, the NSA has infiltrated most of the major technologies and services that consumers use on a regular basis. It gleans data from all of the major Internet companies—Apple, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Facebook—sometimes without their knowledge. It collects so-called metadata on U.S. citizens' communications—such as who you call and email. It monitors users' browsers, gleaning their search history and possibly even passwords, and uses cellphone data to track users' locations.
The revelations have huge implications for consumer technology companies and their customers. Perhaps the biggest threat is that they could Balkanize the Internet, persuading other countries that they need to either disconnect from the network or distance themselves from American users and the services offered by American companies.
Obamacare's rough start: It seemed a great idea: Create a website that would allow the millions of consumers required to buy insurance under the Affordable Care Act to shop and sign up for coverage.
But the reality turned out ugly. In the days after it launched, the HealthCare.gov site was unavailable to most visitors. And those able to get through weren't able to do much—few were able to sign up for health plans. Even a month after launch, the site remained shaky.
After the administration put new leaders in charge, the site has gradually become more stable and sign-ups have increased. But problems have forced the administration to push back several deadlines and have harmed the entire health-reform effort.
Apple's bruises: For more than a decade—from the iPod to the iPad—Apple has used breakthrough products to drive fast-paced growth. As recently as early last year, its annual sales were growing by nearly 60 percent.
But by the middle of 2013, Apple's overall sales growth had come to a halt as the company saw sales declines on many of its products, including the iPad. Even a refreshed lineup may not help; at least one new product—the iPhone 5c—appeared to be a dud.
Apple's fortunes rebounded in the second half of the year, when its stock recovered the ground it lost earlier in 2013 and the company concluded a long-awaited deal with carrier giant China Mobile to offer the iPhone. But it still faced pressure from investors, notably Carl Icahn, who was pressuring the company to pay out more of its stockpile of cash.
Wintel in transition: We knew going into this year that this would be Paul Otellini's last at Intel (INTC). We didn't know it would also be Steve Ballmer's last full year at Microsoft.
Ten years ago, those companies occupied the center of the PC-dominated technology world. Today, with PC sales declining and the sales of smartphones and tablets booming, both Intel and Microsoft seem to be operating at the margins.
Despite years of effort under Otellini, Intel remains a bit player in chips for smartphones and tablets. Similarly, Microsoft under Ballmer has struggled to find a market for Windows outside of traditional PCs.
It remains to be seen whether their successors will have more luck turning around their organizations. But Ballmer's departure in particular could portend big change for his company and its millions of customers.
Game on: The move to a new generation of consoles started last year with Nintendo's release of the Wii U. But it didn't really take off until this fall's release of Sony's PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox One.
With the rise of social, mobile and browser-based multiplayer games, console-based gaming may seem passé. But while consoles are no longer the primary focal point of gaming, they still draw huge crowds. Each of the new consoles will likely sell in the tens of millions.
That popularity of the devices makes them highly influential. Many of the games consumers now enjoy on their smartphones and tablets were originally written for consoles.
What tech are you wearing? For years, futurists have anticipated wearable devices—computing or communications gadgets that could be worn like clothing. This year those visions started to become reality.
Pebble offered a pioneering smartwatch that can display updates and other information from a smartphone. Google, meanwhile, started shipping Glass, its eyeglass-like wearable computer that has the potential to replace smartphones entirely. And companies from Samsung to Epson joined the fray, introducing wearables of their own.
None of the products was an immediate hit, but they offered a hint at what the wearable future might look like.

By Barbara Starr CNN Pentagon Correspondent
The head of U.S. special operations has contacted members of the covert Navy SEAL team that killed Osama bin Laden to reconfirm some details of the al Qaeda leader's last moments conveyed in a new book, and military officials have concluded the author's account was not accurate, CNN has learned.
Adm. William McRaven took the extraordinary action more than a year after the May 2011 raid in Pakistan in response to "No Easy Day," authored by former SEAL Matt Bissonnette, who tells about his participation in the operation.
In a dramatic passage, Bissonnette said that bin Laden was on the floor when he and other SEALs entered his room in the safe house in Abbottabad, having been shot by another SEAL when he had peeked his head into the hall as the team approached.
Bin Laden's body lay at the foot of the bed, twitching and convulsing, the book said, adding that the SEALs, including the author, shot him again until he was motionless.
That account differs from what U.S. officials have said publicly since the raid.
McRaven, the head of U.S. Special Operations Command, went back to the team - including the lead SEAL, or "point man" - in recent days to make sure Bissonnette did not have any information they did not know about.
Navy SEALs: A battle for the conscience
Senior Pentagon officials, who declined to speak for attribution because of the sensitivity of the matter, told CNN they have now concluded Bissonnette was wrong.
Bin Laden, they said, was standing in the room when the SEALs entered and they shot him, believing he posed a direct threat, given there were weapons in the room.
Although bin Laden was unarmed, the SEALs had encountered hostile fire in the house before entering his room and he showed no signs of surrendering.
The officials CNN spoke with said it was possible Bissonnette, who was a few seconds behind the lead SEAL, never saw bin Laden standing.
It is not clear from accounts already made public if the initial shots fired by the lead SEAL - when bin Laden looked out of the room - actually hit him. One Navy official told CNN the belief is those shots missed.
Another passage causing concern in the Pentagon has been the fate of the only U.S. soldier from the war in Afghanistan currently held captive.
The parents of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl were briefed on Thursday by the military about the book's contents because it contains several pages in which the author says he was on a secret mission to rescue their son.
US Army Col. Timothy Marsano, the military liaison to the family, confirmed to CNN that the Bergdahls know about the passages and are declining to comment publicly.
The book has triggered a firestorm of controversy over the author's decision to detail the bin Laden raid. Pentagon officials are also concerned that any discussion of Bergdahl, who was captured in 2009, could put him at risk.
Military officials have privately said for some time that they believe he is being held in Pakistan by members of the Haqqani network, but have not discussed details because he is still a captive.
"We are still searching for Bowe Bergdahl and any public discussion of our ongoing efforts is not helpful," one senior U.S. official said.
This official, who also spoke on the condition of not being identified, and others said the concern is insurgents might learn any detail from the book about hostage rescue techniques.
Several military officials have told CNN there was never sufficient intelligence about Bergdahl's location to mount a full rescue attempt although they conducted many searches inside Afghanistan.
But Bissonnette said there was a tip Bergdahl might be in a compound south of Kabul about a month after Bergdahl was captured and a mission ensued.
After a firefight, Bissonnette says "there was no sign of Bergdahl, but we figured he had to be somewhere nearby. There were too many fighters here, and they were well armed."

Plenty more work for navy seals to do......
LEADERS: L.K. Advani/ Ashok Singhal/ Bala Saheb Devaras/ Bal Thackeray/ A.B. Vajpayee/ Savarkar/ Baikunnth Lal Sharma "Prem"/ Balraj Madhok/ The Shankaracharya of Puri, Niranjan Dev Theerth/ Rama Gopalan/ Variyar – Vishwan Hindu Parishad/ Dharmalinga Nadar/ Cho Ramaswamy
Ha Ha Ha ...these dudes will make OBL look like a cub scout !!!
Thackeray is a pimp.....
Vajpayee is a pedophile like Gandhi aka boy banger...2 at a time !!
Being a Vet I can tell you first hand that the military will tell you exactly what the want to tell you.People will be truly amazed at what really goes on.I served on the U.S.S.Independence from 72 to 79 on the flight deck.Live ordinance was fully loaded on all aircraft.We were the only ones that knew that Sorties were being carried out in 78 when the so called police action was deemed over.Believe what you will,but I know what really goes on.
Washington's just worried about reprisal if they admit this was 100% a kill mission – they have to maintain the "HE'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!" Uncle Jimbo BS. anyone w/three working brain cells knows he could have dropped to his knees, put his palms face up on his head w/fingers interlaced & started running off the names & locations of all know acquaintances & they'd still would have killed him (which is exactly what they should have done)
You mean this guy didn't fly in without the aid of a helicopter, seduce Bin Laden's wives, and then best him in a one-handed scimitar duel? Damn! And I thought America had a new super-hero.
Is it not that there exists a government within the government in the United Sates? That secret government must be asked as to who carried out the attacks.
– Osama bin Laden, September 28, 2001
The military and its members have a history of being mentally challenged liars. So I wouldn't trust either party on this one.
After an investigation by McRaven himself interviewing the SEALS on the team, the conclusion was that Matt Bissonnette came after the lead SEALS and was not even there when the actual killing occurred. I am real skeptical of someone who publishes anonymously "factual" accounts of highly charged incidents, especially timely ones that coincide with political events like an election of a president. This book was published to get the max out of people's interests not to set any record straight.
There are a whole lot of accusations about the government lying and Obama using the event for political gain. Well, he was the man who reactivated the unit closed down by Bush in 2006 whose mandate was to track and kill UBL. Without that reactivation, UBL would not be sleeping with the fish.
Credit to the SEAL teams for what they did. But credit also to other teams that are not SEALS who have done the very same thing perhaps hundreds of times and do not get credit for what they did in killing lesser targets.
I think time will tell Matt Bissonnette to be just one of the gadflies in the SEAL program.
This guy wrote this book because he wanted to expose the people who used this mission to promote thier politics. He wascertain that they would not prosecute him because he knew they couldn't risk the truth coming out from the rest of the active duty seals that were there.
Now this Admiral has to make this statement a week later. It's all lies so no need to prosecute him. Brilliant.
Look for this Admiral to quietly resign in the next year. I'm sure he has lost the respect of the men he commands.
I took the time to read the book. There is no mention of an intention to expose anybody to promote their politics. Yes, he did not like how it became a political issue but later he even admits that politics is a necessary part of what SpecOps does. He makes no mention of Obama reactivating the Able Danger program that was killed in 2006 under Bush. Clearly, the guy does not follow the overall strategy. He is a tactical soldier. As with Vietnam, very few soldiers knew the Ops Plans (34 and 35) that activated the Phoenix program until they got out of the war and read the history.
And McRaven will be around SpecOps and the Pentagon a long, long time unless he chooses to retire which he may well do anyway having 4 stars. If he does, it won't be his actions in this incident that will cause him to do so. He will have his head held high.
30+ years in Navy, now retired, that's me. UCMJ requires active duty to salute and obey. Once retired, the TRUTH can come out, as it did with a lot of Vietnam information (and other military ops over the years). I believe this Navy SEAL because he was there on site. The WH, Pentagon, and so forth, are all tentacles of this government of ours and are therefore, suspect of covering up the truth in my view. I'll take the word of this operator WHO WAS THERE. Adm McRaven HAS TO OBEY ORDERS, as he is still active duty, so he must salute and obey. This WH has got a full force psy-war operation going to discredit this Navy SEAL and by association, the other Navy SEALs who have come out against Obama. The objective is clear: Cover Obama so he can be reelected. Open your eyes America. The Democrats rejected even the mention of GOD three times in their party platform at their convention and Debbie Whatshername Shultz, the pathological lying propogandist, denies it. Open your eyes, America! This WH is full of pathological LIARS!
And which WH hasn't been full of pathological liars?
I couldn't care less where Bin Laden was or was not standing. What we really wanted was him dead with a bullet between his eyes. Mission accomplished and well done.
I'm really tired of all these crazy statements from government officials referencing guns being nearby, his making a move towards an alleged gun, etc. etc. WHO CARES?? As if we need to justify shooting a guy like Bin Laden...PUH-LEEZE...
Governments rarely tell the truth. This is true for our government as well as every other government throughout history.
Who is more credible? The snake-eaters that were there and did the deed, or the bureaucrats that take credit for everything and twist the message to suit their personal agendas?
How about neither?
More lies from the puppets of our government. Military "leaders" are war criminals.
sorry i diverted to PaxH's thought and forgot my own:
I still argue with friends who were also there about Tay Ninh being overrun... how and why and who and what... all of us saw something different and tell a different story. We all met our responsibilities in the after action reports we filed. Who knows what story would be told from our after action reports, the morning reports, the citations from medals given, or the memories of other participants? Or for what purpose the story would be told? Or what responsibility the teller might have?
Strange, wasn't it, that the paid advertisement was run only once. We saw only unpaid re-runs by so-called "news reports". Oh yeah, election season!
...sad, follow the money lies the truth. certainly not about anything else..
say there PaxH...
Obama didn't produce or approve that ad which i bet you didn't ever see on tv because it wasn't shown but once in one state on one channel...which is not relevant anyway because the ad is both factual and accurate. YOU made the assumption that resulted in the "felon" label; you inferred that Romney did the killing. The fact is that Bain is the type of business that makes money from actions that sometimes cause results as shown by the ad.
I was in the army during Vietnam; I killed people; I accept the responsibility for my actions which resulted from my joining the army.
Romney has failed to accept any responsibility for any of his actions.
Of course the government/military is going to claim inaccuracy... does this really surprise anyone? Regardless of which way you look at it, it isn't what the government reported and/or released to the world shortly after it took place.
Can we PLEASE get back to discussing things that are truly important?
Does anybody else realize that it has now been more than two weeks since Randy Travis was arrested for being drunk and naked in public?
Follow the money and you will find a predator......Matt Bissonnette. I cannot trust Bissonnette's story because Bissonnette lied to his oath of loyalty and confidentiality to his brother Seals, to the military, to the US Government and to the People of the United States. He did not keep his oath, he cannot then be trusted to tell the truth. My side is with the Navy and the outstanding work of the US Seals. In keeping with the laws of terrorist, I understand why they shot Bin Laden – he was at that moment too dangerous to keep alive. He could have blown all sky high. Or thinking no one would kill him, had some kind of a back up domino terror act to happen if he were captured. Bottom line, President Obama did what Bush could not do, kill Ben Laden. Thank you President Obama. I lost relatives at the Pentagon on 911. Rear Admiral Flagg, may you rest now in peace.
Is this the same military that lied and disputed that the U.S. has spy drones flying in Iran? First they deny, than say...no way could they shoot it down, than say...it crashed by accident...than say well if it is ours, they can't reverse engineer it. Iran is being accused of making nuclear weapons but cant reverse engineer an RC plane? LOL
...he said v. he said
I lean towards the Navy.
Lets say you are the White House and you catch, but don't kill Bin Laden. Let's say you precede to tell the world he is dead and that his body has been "buried at sea". Let's say the whole story is a little ridiculous and conspiracy theorists start to assert the whole story is ridiculous. Lets say you arrange for one of the Seals to retire and write a book that MOSTLY confirms your ridiculous story, and then the government floats that the book contains some insubstantial inaccuracies and calling the Seal names in public and maybe even having a couple of mock trials where they pretend they are really upset with him. Meanwhile they torture and interrogate Osama in a New Jersey safe house every night with pliers and blowtorches and razorblades. In between sessions they show him video of how the whole world thinks he is dead and tell him how he is gonna be here a while.
If only...
Earlier this year, Lt. Col. Danny Daniels released a report detailing how the American generals, are lying to congress and the American public about the hopeless situation in Afghanistan. The level of deception that the report reveals dwarfs this minor indiscretion. Search him, you will find the complete eighty four page report at the Rolling Stones web site.
Bin Laden did not have to be holding a weapon to be a threat. He was on record saying he would never be taken alive. Who knew if he was or was not wearing an explosive vest or had a bomb in the room or a trigger to blow the whole place for that mater. He brought this on himself. The comments that Bin Laden was an unarmed man are not realistic..
LOL.. Are you mentally challenged or what? Tell that to every cop or FBI agent that has arrested a terrorist suspect. Your full of bull excrement and is lying to yourself. Of course every arrest does have a certain amount of danger to it. But this was an unarmed old man. And this is also a very well trained group that assassinated him. There isn't a excuse for it like he was a threat. Thats just BS. They could handled him in any way they wanted. And they did handle Bin Laden in the way they were ordered. They weren't there to arrest him. They were there to assassinate an old man. The interesting thing is why. Why did USA put so much effort into silencing Bin Laden. The Taliban offered to try Bin Laden before 9/11 but US wasn't interested. The Taliben offered to try Bin Laden after 9/11 but US didn't want to supply any evidence. Then US started to bomb Afghanistan and the Taliban offered to give Bin Laden to a 3rd country in Europe for trial. But USA wasn't interested. To me that seems like there was a lot of effort put into making Bin Laden someone who didn't testify in a trial.
An "unarmed old man" that killed thousands of people. Get real dummy, he was a mass murderer who deserved to be executed, assassinated, or whatever other adjective for killing his stupid !@# you want to use.
You need to get real. He wasn't tried in a court so... And it doesn't matter if he killed a couple of thousands. The justice system is supposed to be the same for everyone. There isn't supposed to be a exclusion for some suspects. That would lead to a society that kills people and citizens with out trial.. You know. Like USA does. Whats the point of using a justice system if your gonna make random exclusions just because you think they are worse then some other shiite heads? I think its you and you fellow id0tos that needs to take a break and think about what your destroying here. Your taking away the right of people to have a fair trial. And the only way to measure the fairness is to see what a country does to the worst of its offenders. In this case Bin Laden. And then again i don't know if Bin Laden was guilty of what was claimed. I haven't seen any evidence in any trial of it. I don't take hearsay for granted as you do. I kinda believe in evidence presented in a court. If that something that sounds strange to you perhaps you should join Al-Queada or the Taliban. They probably have a place for people like you.
Dick Perry – 2 excellent comments! I couldn't agree more.
Osama bin Laden was an old man, was unarmed and our US Navy SEALS killed him! That is a fact. I salute the SEALS for doing what had to be done. It's just too bad they did not wipe out everybody in the house the way OBL's terrorists killed innocent men, women and children when they attacked the World Trade Center. I am not shedding any tears over the death of OBL, and neither is the vast majority of people on the planet.
@DickPerry – Such Noble thought...would you say the same for Hitler too? curious.
BTW US should stop fighting Saudi's war /civil war in Islamic nations, unless they come for Israel.
Also this SEAL is a crazy to say that his book is not politicaly motivated...Conduct unbecoming of US Military officers who hate this Commander In Cheif/President...for obvious reasons. Its strange no colored soldiers are showing this kind of dis-regard.
the manner of death really is insignificant to us, however if it is not classified it should be, and it sounds to me the way the military is reacting is that they do consider it classified. and this book may be an accurate account, which the intelligence community is pulling together to discredit. the reasons behind this is how bin laden died might be significant in other parts of the world, and inspire more hate, anti Americanism, which we don't need. They also want to take a stand, and say if you are going to write a book, we are going to, out you, come after you legally, and discredit you, do don't do it its not worth the money.
Meanwhile Bradley Manning is sitting in solitary confinement for releasing info. Oh, that's right, his info showed troops killing innocent civilians so obviously he deserves to rot while this guy gets hailed as a hero of free speech and government transparency.
Good ole, government denial in practice here. If we can't stop him because it's his freedom to release non damaging secrets then lets do what we do best and discredit him and his book. Plausible denial.
Eric – That's about right! Good post.
I think ill take the word from someone that was actually there, and not sitting at a makeshift desk 100 miles away.
Seriously, this guy should be arrested, and then book should be banned. Regarding the Government telling the truth in regard to our military secrets, they should not tell us anything. The media ONLY wants to know tom make money, so they can go to, CNN included. LOL.
Indeed, we the voters and tax payers should be kept completely in the dark about everything our government does. People like you dream of living in a polices state.
It's a dream that is slowly coming true.
Wow... banning books. There is a path to freedom...
Communist fuc
There are at least 3 areas in the book that are highly classified...The actual Killing of Bin Laden was not one of them...I found the book intelligently written, but only from the standpoint that it was written to make a lot of money...Like a movie script...There is so much more to the life of a SEAL that is more interesting. Killing is the easy part.
Thats real american heroes. Killing an old unarmed man. LOL...
Sure, let's just forget all of the hell they had to go through to get to an "old man" in the middle of a foreign country, and get out again safely.
It was an ally.. Not a enemy. So whats heroic about it? If i trespass on my neighbors lawn i don't fear anything.
Yeah right – they had to "go through hell" to ILLEGALLY invade another country to commit murder. And all to give Obama something to run on for re-election in the absence of economy, jobs and leadership!!!!
Dick perry shut up. Trial is for the Citizens of the US. you sound like an UBL sympathizer please go join the Al Qaeda ranks, so one of our snipers can take a pop at you...
Looks like the American public needs to be educated about the concept of Pyhrric victory. OBL succeeded in his main objective of bankrupting the US, and nothing is going to undo that.
That was his stated goal from day one. To draw us into a protracted and expensive war, which he knew we would "win" militarily, while creating ten terrorists for each we kill with ten thousand dollar missiles.
I'm no Obama fan but HELLO, BUSH got us into that war! The bottom line is when this idiot entered the military he took an oath. When he became a SEAL he took another one. With each successive level of clearance he signed a piece of paper stating that he would keep any and all information to himself until otherwise TOLD, FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, under the penalty of life imprisonment and even the death penalty pending on the severity. Effectivley signing away that part of his "Freedom of Speech." He is a liar and on some level a traitor, he should be thrown in Leavenworth and left to ROT.
Glad this slimeball was killed where he cowered. "Wanted – Dead or Alive." I care a lot more about the 9-11 victims. Perhaps people should recall those who jumped off the towers to avoid burning to death. My only regret is that he didn't suffer more.
He died a slow, miserable death due to kidney failure.
The Caps lock, it's on the left.
So you only believe the turncoat ex SEAL. That`s too bad because he disgraced his former comrades for money and political reasons. Don`t you find it odd that no other SEAL who was there has come forward to confirm what he said ?? I do.
LOL – "he disgraced his former comrades for money and political reasons" – That sounds like 99.9% of Washington DC, LOL
The story that came out right after the raid was complete fiction, and the White House later admitted it. They did so long before the book.
Maybe he's one of the very few Honest Seals?????
The authors lawyer is the same lawyer that defended Karl Rove in the Valerie Plame case, the outed CIA agent by Cheney for revenge against her dissented husband, then ambassador to the UN. That, along with several entirely, factually incorrect passages, show this man to be a fraud trying to cash in for retirement (and swift boat Obama). In the book, for example, the author makes claims about Obama's speech and the amount of credit he took (only giving the order, gave all credit to the armed forces) that are entirely false, and easily showed as such with a quick glance at YouTube. This, in conjunction with Karl Rove's lawyer, and the release date coinciding with the RNC, indicates this man to have been approached to create doubt about Obama for a great sum of money. Election season.
Sorry, I mean he was trying to portray Obama as taking all the credit and ignoring the SEALS, which is entirely false.
Like Obama labelling Romney as a FELON and falsely accusing him of killing an old lady seven YEARS after he left Bain? As you say – election season. If Obama can't stand the heat , he needs to stay out of the kitchen!
The "official" reports are rarely ever the truth or whole truth.
The military does not have a history of integrity to back up its statements. They have only themselves to blame.
Oh! well SAID that man!
What else is the gov gonna say? We got it wrong?
Hope they charge him with TREASON.
I don't get why everone is saying the person should be charged with treason?
He did not commit treason, (did he?)
Maybe he should be charged under the patriot act for releasing sensitive information, Unfortunatly the US government already released the information, (hey they provided info the hollywood, so a movie could be made). So technically, its not a secret anymore, sensitive, but not a secret.
BTW, the administration, not the military, has the final responsibility for classification and declassification of information. So the wacko assertions that the Obama administration illegally leaked anything is preposterous, AS THIS IS UNDER THE LEGAL PERVUE OF THE GOVERNMENT. However, it a dick move to score points the expense of service members.
This guys a fraud, just another way to bash our Commander in Chief. The slime ball wasnt even there!!!!
No Body = NOT Dead, LOL They say they 'disposed' of Bin Laden's Body so no shrine would be set up BUT it seems that with all the OIL MONEY the Bin Ladens have & how 'tight' they are with the Bush Family(George W got his first job with a 'sister company' funded by the Bin Ladens), makes me believe Osama & Obama are having a 'gay ol' time' at Camp David – Prove that Wrong LMAO
Your tin foil hat is a little tight and seems to be squeezing all the oxygen out of your brain.
Stick with the voices, including the laughing one below the belt.
The voice on your right says ramp up the paranoia. The one on the left is saying you will be a god soon, hang in their, you got what it takes to rule the world. The voices are going on strike if you start taking your meds again, don't fool with us.
Who cares the man is dead, we spent years and millons of dollars to bring him to justice. Who cares who and how he was killed! Now ask bin ladin was he better off a year ago. LOL
LOL – then why are we still in Afghanistan IF the only reason was to get 'No 1' on the Wanted List?????
Moving military in and out of a complicated country is not at the same speed at which an individual takes a dump. Like you are doing now.

Maybe this is how the new Miss Universe stays thin?
Title: Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother's Tokyo Kitchen. By Naomi Moriyama and William Doyle. Delta, 274 pp., $12, paperback.
What it is: One woman's theory of why Japanese women have the lowest obesity rate in the world (3 percent) and the highest life expectancy (85 years) even though the country has "millions of stressed-out, nonexercising people who are smoking and drinking their way to early graves."
Where I stopped reading: At the beginning of Chapter 4, entitled "How to Start Your Tokyo Kitchen, or Yes, You Can Do This At Home!" (page 67).
Why I stopped: You'd need to have a more serious interest in Japanese cooking than I do to read more than I did. The first three chapters explain the Japanese philosophy of eating as seen by Tokyo-born Naomi Moriyama, who moved to the U.S. at the age of 27. And these sections are interesting and well-written, though rooted in the views of an earlier generation (that of the author's mother). Many Americans may be surprised to learn that the Japanese love desserts, especially chocolate. "One elegant Tokyo department store now offers shoppers their own accounts in a Chocolate Bank – you buy an amount of gourmet chocolate, the store keeps it in its temperature-controlled chocolate vault, and you stop in to make a withdrawal any time you want." But after the first three chapters, the book turns into a collection of recipes for what Moriyama calls "Japanese home cooking." "This is not a diet book," she says. "And it's not a book about making sushi."
Best line in what I read: The Japanese philosophy of eating includes the concept of hara hachi bunme – "eat until you are 80 percent full."
Worst line in what I read: I stopped before the recipe-intensive section. But even the recipes in earlier chapters call for ingredients that might be hard to find outside big cities. Among them: dashi, kombu, mitsuba, shiso leaves and bonito flakes.
Editor: Beth Rashbaum
Published: November 2005 (Delacorte hardcover), January 2007 (Delta paperback). This site has video clips of Moriyama's Today show appearance: www.japanesewomendontgetoldorfat.com

Complete guide to buying the best urine drug test
With the market currently flooded with new products for every conceivable purpose and budget, it's perfectly understandable that settling on specific features that a quality urine drug test should fulfill is becoming more and more of a challenge.
Are you too tired of being overwhelmed with a multitude of technical details? And do you also have the feeling that manufacturers do not sufficiently focus on the actual benefits of a product? We are here to help you find your way through the jungle of new products to find the right high-quality urine drug test for you.
So below you'll find a beginner's guide to buying a urine drug test that will ensure you don't make a decision you'll regret later.
How to find the best urine drug test: Our buying guide & tips
It's not uncommon for confused customers to ask the question, "Who makes the best urine drug test?" Although the various manufacturers certainly differ and this is an important criterion to consider, we believe the following question would be more appropriate: what should I look for in a urine drug test?
After all, only if you know all the features will you get a good overview of the product's actual usefulness. And here's the answer:
Workmanship and craftsmanship.
Even if you're looking for a cheap urine drug test, you certainly want to avoid it giving up the ghost early on.
Therefore, pay attention to what the urine drug test is made of. Also, get an overview of negative reviews, as this will help you find possible weak points and decide whether you can put up with them.
Ease of use
Opt for easy-to-use products with thoughtful designs that simply feel good to use. Versatility shouldn't be overlooked either - unless you're looking for a specific solution. So also keep in mind what you can ultimately use the product for.
Price-performance ratio
Think about what you are actually paying for in a particular urine drug test option. Is it the brand name or the actual quality? Is the well-known name of a premium product really worth the extra cost? How you decide here is entirely up to you. Also, don't forget to include the warranty. After all, a good warranty should save you a buck or two.
How we rate each urine drug test
Some buyers do as much research as possible to decide on their next favorite. Others find a long research before deciding to buy rather tedious.
If you belong to the second group, you can fully rely on our rating system. We collect a lot of data from urine drug test reviews and customer feedback and publish it in the form of comprehensive up-to-date independent testimonials that highlight all the advantages and disadvantages of the product.
In the first phase, our system automatically analyzes the customer reviews of the best-rated urine drug test models. Then, advanced AI tools are used to gather as much first-hand product information as possible. In the next step, these are divided into pros and cons using sentiment analysis tools.
As a potential buyer, you will also be interested in how we test the urine drug test we evaluate. Here, we subject each product to a series of rigorous tests based on its purported advantages and neutrally rated features.
Managing a comprehensive and robust database in this way allows us to provide urine drug test comparison for those who find it difficult to decide on a particular urine drug test brand.
Generally speaking, if you know what to look for in a urine drug test and what price you can afford, the next step is to read customer reviews of the most popular products.
Simply read and compare urine drug test reviews by yourself or trust our AI system. No matter what you decide; you should always know the possible limitations and make a decision based on the purpose of the product and your budget.

Put a shackle on Modi and kick his brown azz to ICJ in The Hague.
He is a frikkin murderer. Not to mention a domestic raipist of underage gurl.
I am a mere B AST ARD from Pakistan. ..
I now live in Bombay with my dog. He is a B AST ARD too..just like me ...a..
Me is a big bad fat fatherless. ..
Iwby do hindoos in India and abroad raipe so much? Are they mentally sick?
That donkey honk faced Modi should be put on a dog leash and kicked to ICJ
Now let me tell you something, c/ockroach. There are two things that clearly differentiate the human species from the hindoos in India. One, we use cutlery. Two, we're capable of controlling our seyxual urges.
Praise Narendra Modi the best leader on the planet. He is loved.
I am Hindu and happy.
Hinduism is beautiful. It is the only true religion.
Oh but yes. I fully agree. Modi is a fantastic man.
Hinduism is alive and thriving.
Bless India the beautiful.
...I kiss the ground of beautiful India and I kiss
The feet of Narendra Modi. ..my hero.
Wonderful country.
I love India
Narendra Modi
@Heee Haww. You nailed it!
@Mule H. Donkey. Yes. He sure did nail it. Lol
It is important to remind ourselves, that despite decades of suffering and suppression by India, the people of Jammu and Kashmir have not given up their hope or struggle. The draconian laws put in place by the Indian government have not been able to extinguish the flame of self-determination in the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Suffice to say that plebiscite must and should be held in Indian Occupied Kashmir in accordance with the mandate of UN. Nothing more nothing less.
This is a matter of principles.
The concept is no different than what we Americans are doing in Puerto Rico. Let the people decide their fate. This is what democracy is all about.
Unlike what hindoos did in Indian Occupied Kashmir, we Americans didn't send in the Army to Puerto Rico to occupy it and raipe the people.
That donkey faced pig Modi of India should be dragged to ICJ to face criminal charges for murder.
Modi of India, their leader, domestic raiped his underage wife.
Narendra Modi is a very marvelous man. I love India and Modi.
I love Hindoos. God bless Hindoos. ..
Narendra Modi is great. .
India is beautiful. .
Hinduism is truly amazing and wonderful.
I love India and Narendra Modi.
Long live Modi! ! !
Prominent Indian writer and human rights activist, Arundhati Roy has said that Indian army and police are using raipe as a weapon against people in Kashmir and parts of India like Manipur.
Arundhati Roy in a media interview in New Delhi while commenting on the issue of the recent Delhi raipe incident said that when raipe was used as a means of domination by the Upper Caste of the Hindus or by army and police in India, it always went unpunished.
I just think that hindus are the most evil and medieval people on this planet. Smelly critters.
Modi is a donkey faced cannibal.
Why do hindoos raipe their mothers? Good karma.
I love all Hindoos and especially the ones from India. I also just adore
Narendra Modi (my true hero)
Someone is stealing my name and posting all those ugly things . None of it is true.
I ♡ Narendra Modi and India and Hinduism. ..
Why do hindoo fathers raipe their daughters? Good karma.
Why did Modi raipe his underage wife? Because he believes that in India and hindoo cult domestic raipe is legal.
Donald Trump will fix him.
Donald Trump is an impotent bloviating douche who won't be able to do SHIT you dumb cunt
Darling would you like to suk my nippuls?
Why would I want to suck some asshole troll guys 'nippuls'
As fat as you are you can suck your own
Why do hindoos raipe their mothers? Because it is good karma.
Deflection of attention from Indian Occupied Kashmir will not make the problem go away. In fact it is turning India into a living hell. You can abuse all you want. You must be ashamed, helpless and frustrated. Instead of wasting time abusing, why don't you go help your fellow hindoos who are being swept away by the floods like mud and dirt. Go tell your government to stop the genocide in Kashmir. Hold plebiscite in Kashmir in accordance with UN resolutions.
Heil to The Donald

Trent Reznor contemplates the future, the road
NASHVILLE – Trent Reznor is in a race with technology, from the way he presents his music to fans on the road to how he approaches his job as chief creative officer at Beats Electronics.
Reznor's Nine Inch Nails are preparing for a North American co-headlining tour with Soundgarden that starts Saturday in Las Vegas. It's the fourth leg of a yearlong tour for Reznor, and the 49-year-old singer has reinvented the show to offer Internet-savvy fans something new.
"This will be the fourth kind of radically different production we've pulled off this cycle, and it's been a pain in the ass frankly," Reznor said.
But the idea of doing the same thing "over and over for a whole year felt like it would be a little tedious for the audience, and probably would get old for us," he said. "So we came up with a strategy that might be more exciting for all parties involved."
Gone are earlier production elements, including a unique and visually arresting lighting display during an arena run last year. They have been replaced with a show designed to fit in more intimate amphitheaters with nothing hanging from the rafters.
Reznor even changed the number of musicians in his band to alter the vibe.
"Maybe nobody even notices," he said wryly, adding: "It's not bombast. It's not, 'Look at these technical things we can do.' It's not the explosions and fire or putting robots in space, overwhelming you with spectacle. It's surprisingly hard to be restrained in that area, I might add."
Reznor is also working on the score for "Gone Girl," the third film in his Oscar-winning collaboration with director David Fincher ("The Social Network"). In his role as composer, Reznor and writing partner Atticus Ross contribute ideas, and Fincher ultimately makes the choices.
"It's kind of fun not to be the top of the pyramid," said Reznor, "and looking at somebody that I really respect and saying, 'How can I help?'"
He's taken a similar approach with Beats, the headphones and streaming company founded by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine that was bought by Apple Inc. in May. Reznor said he joined the venture to create an environment where artists wouldn't feel like they were being exploited in an age where music has lost its value.
"It kind of caught me by surprise," he said of the sale, "but I've had time to think about it. Always having had an immense amount of respect for Apple, it's a tremendous opportunity, and we can continue the mission that sort of fascinated me in the first place, which was to try to create a place where people can listen to music and actually elevate that experience. To be able to do it with the scope and scale of Apple, that keeps me interested very much."
He sees his role as something of a futurist and hopes to help create a platform that gives back to music some of the value it has lost.
"Now everybody has access," he said. "I think it's opened up the space for a new way of listening to music that could consider that music isn't just digital aspects. It isn't files, it isn't data. There's magic in there, and music deserves to be treated as the fine art that it is."

Home Help: Summer remodels to consider
Tip of the Week
The longer days and warmer weather make summer the ideal season to complete a home improvement project. While the season lasts, consider tackling these remodeling jobs:
Outdoor kitchen - An outdoor kitchen can add value to the home as well as decrease the homeowner's utility costs. These additions can be tailored to the homeowner's preferences by equipping the station with appliances well beyond the basic grill including sink, refrigerator and dishwasher.
Deck addition - The always-popular deck is one of the most cost-effective ways of adding extra space to the home, since building a deck doesn't generally include plumbing and electrical work. Decks can also boost curb appeal and, depending on the material, be easy to maintain.

Home-Selling Tip
A can of black, oil-rubbed bronze or brushed nickel spray paint can be used to update metal house numbers, railings and light fixtures before listing your home. The difference is noticeable, quick and a low investment of money.

Taking root
According to the Arbor Day Foundation, planting a tree can increase your home's value, cut energy costs and be beneficial to your family's health. For added color, consider planting some perennial flowers, such as day lilies, tulips and roses.

Decorating Tip
Accent wall
Instead of redoing an entire room, try painting one wall as an accent wall. This will create a new focal point for the room that can be easily achieved by going a shade darker, brighter or complementing the existing wall color.

Garden Guide
Keep compost damp
If compost becomes too dry, the helpful bacteria it uses will die. Pay special attention during the hot, dry summer months and give the compost a thorough soaking if it begins to appear crusty or brittle.
